Omnia Finem Habent — “Everthing Has An End”

Thomas uses the “boy reading” logo with the Latin phrase Omnia Finem Habent in all of his published works. “Everything has an end” reminds us that every story has its conclusion. Every story, whether fictional or real life, draws to a close. If taken to it’s logical and final conclusion, the ending is always the same for we mortals. It is the pages preceding that ending that enrich us and determine how profound our ending will be. “Omnia Finem Habent” reminds us to make the story great, so that when the end comes it is a happy one. At least — as happy as it can be for something that has to end.

“I belong between the pages. Not on the face where the prose spreads like vines, but deep within the fibers of the paper where the heart of the story beats. Where every wound bleeds words that bubble to the surface and the tale’s roots find purchase. That’s where I’ll be.”
